The Uptown Groove was the highlight of our wedding reception! From the moment we first spoke with them, the band was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond to all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, their energy and enthusiasm were infectious - they kept our guests dancing all night long with their fun, high-energy performance. The lead singer has an absolutely beautiful voice, and the musicians are all incredibly talented. The horn players were especially a hit, dancing and playing all around the venue, even getting up on the stairs at one point! Everyone loved The Uptown Groove and could not stop raving about them. We're so glad we chose them to be a part of our special day.

Nate was amazing to work with and completely exceeded all my expectations for our wedding!

From the very beginning, Karl was such a pleasure to work with. Finding a great band for our wedding was our top priority. We were a little apprehensive about pulling the trigger on any band without seeing them live, since videos don’t necessarily do the band justice. We made the decision to go with PopStyle almost entirely because Karl was so responsive and a great communicator. 6 months later, when it came time to iron out details, Karl was consistently professional and put us at ease. Knowing we could trust him to handle everything on his end was invaluable. Obviously we were a bit preoccupied on the day of our wedding, but from what we could tell everything was so smooth. They took care of setting up for our ceremony with a variety of mics and speakers for our officiant, readers, and processional/recessional music. They seamlessly transitioned to the cocktail hour (different location), then introduced our first dance plus family dances, and kicked off the dancing with so much enthusiasm. We absolutely adored their performance. They got everyone out on the dance floor! There were also times when a few of them came out onto the dance floor to really engage the crowd. It was awesome and unexpected. Each band member that I personally interacted with could not have been nicer. They all seemed so genuinely happy to be there celebrating with us. It didn’t feel like a client/vendor dynamic. Additionally, every other vendor we spoke with told us what a pleasure it was to work with PopStyle. Overall, we would 100% book PopStyle again for any event. If you are considering them at all, I would look no further. They exceeded our expectations in every category

We had the pleasure of having DJ Lennox as our wedding DJ, and we couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make our big day unforgettable. First off, communication was wonderful. DJ Lennox was responsive in the months leading up to the wedding and provided a well-thought-out sheet to fill out for music preferences, special requests, etc. On the day of the wedding, he arrived early, set up quickly, and was professional throughout. The music selection was perfect - he really knew how to read the room and kept everyone on the dance floor all night! One of the highlights was the way DJ Lennox handled our ceremony.

Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

He also went above and beyond to help the timeline be on track during the reception, going out of his way to help call tables and pull a game together of his own making, which got the crowd involved and was so much fun. He was constantly asking me and my husband what we needed and was down to do to be helpful. I would definitely work with him again if given the opportunity!!

They were a little bit out of our budget, but we decided to book them anyways and cut back on other things and let me tell you ...they were worth every single penny!!! Luke is the nicest, coolest guy and so great to work with!! He listened to every request we had leading up and I truly didn't think about a thing during the wedding day - he had our timeline completely under control and kept us on track (and if we were running behind I still have no idea because he's that good!!). The band is INCREDIBLE and had our guests on the dance floor all night!! I realized at the end of the night I never even changed out of my heels into my white sneakers because that would have meant leaving the dance floor.

Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.

Hi, my name is Mitch! I grew up surrounded by music. I started playing saxophone in 5th grade and pretty much from then on music has encompassed my life. After graduating from college with a music degree and working in customer service for over 3 years, the thought of combining my passion for music and love of serving people always sounded too good to be true! My number one goal is to help you craft an unforgettable wedding, one note at a time! How do I do that? by getting to know you and catering to your likes and dislikes! Also with my secret weapon! (my saxophone)

We cannot express enough praise and gratitude for Mitch! We had the privilege of working with him for our wedding on 7/6/24. From preplanning meetings to the wedding day, Mitch was extremely on top of everything to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. He also communicated with our other vendors on the day of the wedding to ensure everyone was on the same page! When we had our live acoustic guitarist back out somewhat suddenly, we reached out to Mitch for references. To our surprise, he offered us an even better idea to have him play sax and a friend play guitar at the ceremony. All of our guests absolutely loved it and it brought a really special feel to the ceremony. On top of that, the energy he brings to MCing got our guests super excited and involved! Part of our package included having Mitch play Sax at the reception… JUST DO IT! It was so fun having him jump on the dance floor and interact with our guests! Mitch made our wedding a day to remember for all, and we cannot recommend him enough. Thank you DJ Mitch!

We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

I can’t speak highly enough about this DJ. We found him through a promotion he was running with our photographers. Our venue was certainly not easy to deal with and was trying to control the entire wedding, cut our speeches short, and was rude to almost all of our vendors. However, Chris fought for us at every turn and made sure we had the best reception experience possible. He was incredibly helpful, punctual, made sure all of our wishes came true, all of the announcements we needed got said, and made the overall experience amazing. I don’t think the dance floor was ever empty at any point during the reception, and this was definitely thanks to the high energy vibes he brings with him. I appreciated him so much for helping execute everything according to our vision and ensuring that we got our dream wedding.

Your wedding is a unique expression of who you are. You have a vision, and it’s time to bring that vision to life. You deserve to have a celebration as unique as you are! And most of all, your story starts with love. Let us help you tell that story. Engaged Entertainment is a full-time entertainment provider, which means that your event is our 9-5 job, not just a weekend “gig.” You get more of our time and attention to make your event an unbelievable success!

Ryan was truly the whole package. When we were originally pricing out DJs for our wedding, we were a little shocked by how much they are. However, music is very important to both of us, and we had heard enough negative stories from friends and acquaintances that we knew it was important to find a quality DJ. Ryan was recommended to us by an old classmate, and from our first meeting we knew we wanted him to do our wedding. Ryan is so personable, so attentive, and he makes you feel like you're the only/most important wedding he's doing (while still exuding confidence and experience). We had a great many long Zoom calls with Ryan (we were planning our wedding from across the country) and he thought of things we would never have thought of in a million years. On the day of, Ryan made sure everything went seamlessly. He was the most incredible emcee and DJ, and all our friends commented on what a great job he did curating an atmosphere. Ryan listened to everything we wanted, and somehow made it even more incredible than we could have dreamed. Ryan is worth every penny. Truly.

Take what you know about “typical” wedding DJs and throw it out the window! We are innovators in creative, modern wedding entertainment! We listen to you and use imaginative methods to make your dream celebration come to life! Whether you’re having a small, intimate gathering or the biggest party you can imagine, we’ll make sure that your wedding is one to be remembered forever!

I would recommend Scott and Sound Selection 100x over! Working with them was incredibly seamless. I never felt like I had to worry during the planning stages since Scott kept us on track leading up to our wedding. My husband and I were initially concerned about the length of our first dance song, but Scott edited it so it was the perfect length but didn’t sound edited or awkward. Most importantly, Scott kept the energy high and the dance floor was absolutely packed the entire night! We love how he perfectly balanced DJ and announcing responsibilities by interacting with our crowd without being overbearing. We had multiple guests compliment our DJ. Do yourselves a favor and book Sound Selection for your wedding!

With 20 years of experience as a musician and entertainer, I understand the importance of flow, timing and reading a crowd. For over a decade I have been hosting and dj-ing weddings and private events. People ask me constantly what separates us from other dj services. It's simple, there is no ego or persona that is being represented. No hokey props, radio announcing or other tacky tactics. Honing in on what someone wants, is the key to a successful party. The Client is the window to the event. It just takes someone with experience to know what questions to ask in order to provide an unforgettable event that reflects your taste.

We could not have asked for a more organized, friendly, or FUN DJ in DJ Rocko!! As a dance teacher and lifelong dancer myself, the dancing part of the wedding was always very important to me. DJ Rocko was so easy to work with the I’m not exaggerating when I say the dance floor was full all night! We could not have asked for a better DJ or MC. Thank you Rocko!!!
